Want to make my9games.com extra challenging (and maybe extra accurate)? Choose 3 console, 3 PC, and 3 arcade games.

Ever since the days of webcomics Iโ€™ve felt like the way forward for independently created media is for some cultural philanthropist to fund the creation of a recommendation algorithm in some central app that centers quality over corporate interests.

I want to steal that, but make it a modern Civil War II story.

I bet if I thought about it enough I could come with an entire I Saw The Sega Glow mash-up.

A clipping of a letter to the editor from the January 2002 issue of PSM2 magazine, titled "THE CHEEK'S IN THE MALE." In the letter, a reader named Mr T Webb from Portsmouth argues that the games industry isn't sexist, claiming that girls aged 14โ€“18 are more interested in "boys and looking good" than "gruelling" games like Resident Evil. Below the letter, the editor provides a biting rebuttal, stating, "Maybe you're not meeting enough girls then, Mr T," and noting that Resident Evil is actually one of the most popular games among the magazine's female readers.

"When the two women wrote in complaining about the games industry being sexist, it's their fault for thinking that way."

Enjoy this pure distillation of gamer culture from the January 2002 issue of PSM2.

I had FFS last week and no longer look like my profile pic. Iโ€™m still bruised and swollen, but Iโ€™ll share a photo once I look like a person again.

So who is the mystery Rave Racer girl?

Well, Namco never named her. They continue to say as much in the rereleases of the PSP Ridge Racers. However, fans in 1995 called her Rave Reiko (tentative) / ใƒฌใ‚คใƒ–ใƒฌใ‚คๅญ(ไปฎ), which is the name Gamest used when she placed 20th in their '95 Best Character Awards

to reuse the graphic assets already created for Pulstar 2, which meant shelving the story written for Garumaito and its characters, even though there are some similarities in the new cast, particularly among the female characters.

Some time around 2015 I went to a hairdresser to get my hair cut down from hip length to shoulder length because I was tired of the highlights in it, and she seemed so uncomfortable cutting that much hair off without warning, I swear I gave her PTSD.

Wildran joined the Viewpoint team as a ~co-director and created a more detailed design doc than had existed previously.
He wanted to create an opening featuring a female character, but it didn't fit with the music or the game's universe, so he abandoned the idea (but would reuse it in Blazing Star).
